Although NPR receives less than 1% of its funding directly through government, it receives up to 15% indirectly from government-funded sources.

In 2017, NPR earned 38% of its revenue from individual contributions; 19% from corporate sponsorship and licensing; 10% from foundation donations; 10% from university licensing and donations; and 4% from federal, state, and local governments via member stations.

Those are discretionary. The grants these stations receive go to the programming their members demand. They don't have to buy NPR news programming.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) gets direct federal funding, not NPR. Some of that money goes out to local stations as grants. NPR has to compete with other programming providers for that money.
